wow, I don't know why this one sticks out for me, but I love the big open feel to it. It's got a couple usual chord/key moments in there too, that I find interesting. Bit of a Genesis feel too, which is my favourite band. cool stuff!

I picked a yellow rose
with the smell you loved
and placed it near the marble stone
i picked a yellow rose
guess you will see it from where you are
it’s a fragile sign of
love

i hear your laughter all around
i see your smile in the clouds
i almost feel you touch my hand
someone we love does not leave us in the end
i picked a yellow rose
guess you will see it from where you are
it’s a fragile sign of
love

i picked a yellow rose
it’s a fragile sign of love

Yellow Rose

To the beauty of simple things, like that of this beautiful Spanish Sparrow

Well, my good friend Paco dropped me a note to say he had a piece of music to which I might like to try and add something, were I so inclined.  Always a good day when that happens.

Now, I can't honestly recall the precise sequence in which the neurons fired inside my skull to yield the result we have here, but we are where we are as they say.

Don't go looking at me for rationale.

Thank you, Paco, as always my friend, for inviting me to come out to play, and for mastering the end result in the midst of untold techno-horror grief.  I hope your DAW world resolves itself very soon.

Socrates at Sundown

I lie bewildered, here, in my sphere of cubes,
On crushed silk cushions sprawled.
I sketch the cool Palladian dudes
In charcoal, on Aleutian walls.
They think I know what thoughts are theirs,
And beg to trade their graceless airs, 
But I left them there to climb their stairs
Ever downward through Athenian halls.

They say my knowledge is remiss,
The diabolical's back in town.
Seems ignorance is bliss
For this philosophical clown.
I'm seeking emptiness of mind,
That's where I hope to find
That old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

My associate, Plato knows the game
Survives through pretty dialogue
He suffocates but bestows his shame
On city states whose statutes fog
The heads of people in their ranks
Attentive on the Eridanos banks
Dispensing death by way of thanks
As justice shreds its cogs.

Deep mental grasp of social structure
No need to ever write it down
Accused outcast for youth's corrupture
Where the bleeding of democracy is bound
To seek the causal end of time
Of Aristotle and Nietzsche's kind
The men of Athens rendered blind
Killed that old, old friend of mine,
Socrates, at sundown.

Happy Friday to all of you. I hope 2023 is treating you well so far. I’m doing my best to focus my free-range mind on creative endeavors; definitely the most positive use of my time. And to that end, I’m happy to admit I’m still keeping to my 2023 music goals (2 tracks a month). And the track I get to share with you today is particularly exciting.

It’s been a goal of mine for a few years now to try out one of Andre’s (noxpox: https://soundcloud.com/noxpox-page-12, https://noxpox.bandcamp.com/) open collabs. His most recent offering ‘kannmangebrauchen’ (https://soundcloud.com/noxpox-page11/noxpox-kannmangebrauchencan-be-used) was particularly enticing; and this resulting remix is an equally thrilling surprise for me. In fact, this might be the closest I’ve come to the 80s and 90s stylings of my favorite Industrial bands (Skinny Puppy, NiN, Ministry, Front 242, etc.). 

Of course, no GrevusAnjl remix would be complete without at least a little uplifting cuteness hidden in the folds (I tried to keep it dark and edgy. I really did. But the cuteness just seeps in). So if you’re in the market for adorable Industrial, I might have just what you need. I hope you enjoy my GrevusAnjl ‘Repurposed For Dance’ remix of a very cool noxpox original. :)

Free DL on SC :)

Happy People.

Little excerpt from a gig a few weeks back. There was an old piano lurking at the side of stage so Dani wondered over and gave it a good bash mid set - i made some pretty average bass noises in the background : )  pardon the audio quality -  its a straight raw capture from my trusty zoom . Vibe is good though

Kirby/Ward Live @ The Polish Club (piano Improv)

Here’s one that was recorded way back, pretty rough production but I still quite like it.
Lyrics 
I see you standing in the corner of the room
Guess you think it's kinda cool
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Checked you out and you're looking good
All dressed up like I new you would
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Grooving to the music and you're looking great
Don't waste time 'cos it's getting late
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

You're dancing fast and you're dancing slow
Come on Hon lets give it a go
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

I see your friends are pointing my way
Come on over Hon and say
But come on babe
Come on and dance with me.

Instrumental, Verse One, Verse Two, Chorus, Outro

Come on and dance with me

My focus is on songs, on composition, not on style or genre. The songs  usually have lots of space for improvisation. 

I use a simple little application called "Guitar Pro", not really fit for producing, but a dream come true for rough little sketches like these...

Hope you like what you hear!
Cheers!
